A food stall named “Rabbits Alliance” was grand winner of the Entrepreneurship Contest for Young Tenants of the Lunar New Year’s Eve Fair, located at Tap Seac Square.

The awards, co-organized by the Economic and Technological Development Bureau (DSEDT) and the Macau Youth Entrepreneurship Association (YEA), offer cash prizes for the best stalls rented and run by young people and two special awards for Best Multimedia Advertising and Best Original Product.

This year, 22 stalls participated in the contest, including 18 selling festive products for the Lunar New Year, and four food and drinks stalls.

A jury of several professionals from different areas evaluated the entries, based on aspects such as the style of a stall’s decoration, type of products sold, promotion strategy, operating model, and creativity.
